I am trying to allow a user to update their information after they have submitted a form, but did not check a certain box. Everything is within the same page and I am controlling the different modals by returning a message, which triggers a script to open the different modals.
For some reason, I can't seem to pass the ID or email through to the next step. Can anyone help with this?
Whenever, I try, I get the following error:
Undefined variable: leads
Any idea?
Thanks!!!

Thanks for all of your help and your questions! You helped push me in the right direction.
Here is how I solved it:
I had to correct myself in how I pushed the $email through to the view:
LeadsController
return redirect()
->back()
->with('message','sign up')
->withInput($request->all)
->with('email', $request->get('email'));
Notice how I'm sending the email through as 'email' here.
Then, I pushed the email through the view in the 2nd form like this:
index
<form method="post" action="{{ route('leads.update', session('email')) }}">
Then, finally, in order to capture the email again, use it to find the lead that I wanted, I had to drastically change the update:
public function update($email)
{
DB::table('my_renamed_table')
->where('email', $email)
->update(['newsletter' => Input::get('newsletter')]);
return redirect()->back()->with('success','success');
}
Thanks again!
